The New BDL “Newsroom”

Today I officially introduce the BDL Newsroom blog!

While the blog you’re reading remains the BDL Blog, the main source of mostly personal notes and commentary, the Newsroom will be a new place for me to post more general news and photojournalism. There you will find both text and original photos from newsworthy events, personalities and activities I encounter by chance, as well as those related to my freelance PR and marketing clients and projects.

I will also occasionally add some behind-the-scenes information – pics and insights from people, places and moments that have played a role in my background, such as the Gilman reunion photos. And, yes, I’ve cheated a bit and added some entries from the past year or so, to test the format and give the site a bit of substance in case you want to browse around.

The Newsroom is actually designed as section of BDL Communications, my freelance services site, and it brings to fruition an idea that came about during the redevelopment of my Web presence nearly a year ago. In fact, the Newsroom is also the official home for a syndicated media-related news headline service I began subscribing to earlier this year. Some of you may have already noticed this appear when you’ve clicked on the “web links” in my personal e-mail signature… Note that I have created reciprocal links between my two blogs, but be sure to come back and check each one, as they will be updated separately.

And yes, the BDL Newsroom will respond to requests! If you have an item you think is newsworthy, I’ll be pleased to discuss putting on my reporter’s hat and publicizing it. (It lets us continue the delusion of me being a real media person and of your event being something really important.)
